I've take a brief look at this, and IIUC, to get EXT4 support one must 
also install a current e2fsprogs-libs package.  I don't see any changes 
that would support EXT4, but the CHANGES file mentions:

18.     Add (preliminary) ext4 support - thanks to libext2fs which does
        all the job for us. Thanks to Gertjan van Wingerde
        <gwi...@gm...> for the patch.

Note that, in line with current RH packaging, the build is no longer 
static, so the installed version of any libraries will be used by dump 
and restore.

Also, as I'm still on F9, I got the usual error from rpmbuild ("error: 
unpacking of archive failed on file /home/tonyn/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
dump-0.4b42.tar.gz;4a42cc95: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch") and had to 
manually unpack the SRPM with:

    rpm2cpio dump-0.4-0.1.b42.fc12.src.rpm | cpio -i

and then move the files where I wanted them (in the rpmbuild directory 
structure), and untar the source.
